For the Buyer
A typical Tennessee home inspection should take 2 to 4 hours to complete. This can vary, given the current condition and size of the home, the accessibility of the mechanical and structural systems, and so on.
We inspect the major systems of the house.
These include the:
Roof- Exterior
- Structure
- Electrical
- Cooling
- Heating
- Plumbing
- Insulation
- Interior
- Fixtures
- Appliances
Our goal is to indentify any existing major problems that would affect a typical buyers decision to purchase. You may want to bring some questions that you have regarding the home. You should you also feel free to stop the inspector and ask questions as you go. If our comments or explanations are not clear, please ask us for a further explanation.
After the completion of the inspection you will receive a written computer generated report. The report includes a summary of the condition of the home and details on all the major systems of the house plus photos of any defects encountered, If time permits, it may be prepared and delivered on site at the end of the inspection or within 24 hours as a PDF, CD and or booklet if preferred.
Our goal is to report on the condition of the house, indicating potential repairs and expenses. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether or not to buy the house. The home inspection is very important but is only one piece of the puzzle. Only you know all of the factors at play, so we will never tell you not to buy a house.
Some problems can only be discovered by living in a house, they cannot be observed during a home inspection. For example, some shower stalls leak when people use the shower but don’t leak when you simply turn on the shower. Some roofs only leak when specific weather conditions exist. Some problems will be discovered only when the carpets are lifted, furniture, storage is moved or finishes are removed.
The fee for a home inspection in Tennessee varies, for a house or a condo according to the size, stories, age or location, does it have a slab or a crawlspace, does it have a pool, seawall or boat dock, do the appliances go with the home. Some factors will affect the fee, it’s best to call Kay for a price.
If you are comparing home inspection firms, the fee charged should not be the deciding factor unless the level of service offered is identical. Remember you are considering a major purchase and your choice of home inspector should be based on getting the best value, not just the best price.
